Highlights from the DeVos confirmation hearing

Betsy DeVos' confirmation hearing before the Senate on Jan. 17 demonstrated clearly why she is unfit to be the U.S. Education Secretary.

Watch the most revealing moments from the hearing below.

Guns in schools
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) asked DeVos whether guns belong in schools. DeVos declined to agree that guns have no place in schools, citing schools in Wyoming that could use guns to "protect from potential grizzlies."

Proficiency vs. growth
In the course of his questions, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) was perturbed to discover that DeVos is not familiar with the education debate around proficiency vs. growth measures.

Financial ties
Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) questioned DeVos about using her wealth to buy influence, asking point-blank, "Would you be here if you weren't a multi-billionaire?"
